When did the Russians first employ a successful envelopment tactic?

Interesting question but I have some misconceptions about what you're exactly asking:
Envelopment tactics were not used, for example, by the French against Russians in 1800 (except for Austerlitz), unless you considered a rather large definition of envelopment.
If this large definition is OK, then one of the first employment by Russian Army is the battle of Berezina: this battle saw multiple Russian columns converging to block the French army, and this partially succeded since the French army had to fight on all directions but managed to escape the envelopment.

An example by Suvorov himself:
At 16.00 hours Russian reinforcements approached and Suvorov repeated his attack, after releasing Cossacks to attack around the left flank of the enemy over the shoals and into their rear. This attack was successful, and Turks were forced out from the trenches and forced against the coast, forcing the fleet to cease fire in order not to hit its own troops.
The Turks suffered at least 20 times as many casualties as the Russians
